First Class Hat Store.

Coe, the halter, can now boast of one of
the most fashionable hat stores this side of
New York. He began business in his pres
ent store as soon as it was built after the
great fire, and it was then considered first
class store, but others having been fitted up
OF late years with all the modern improve
ments, Mr.. Coe has felt that he was behind
the times. He has lately had an interview
with the president and directors of the
Casco National Bank, which is the owner of
the store, and they decided that he
was too good tenant to lose, and instructed
him to have the store reftted in first class
style. The ceiling has consequently been
decorated in the latest style with paper
from the store of II. J. Bailey & Co. The
design is very pretty and has been called the
handsomest store decoration in the city.
Wall cases of new design and very elaborate
pattern have been put in by Spencer Rogers.
The windows have been cased in and decor
ated, and steam is being introduced into
the store. Taking all these features, with
the nobby and elegant stock of hats and
caps Mr. Coe has put in, the result is a fine
snow. 1t is also pleasant to know that
TINS popular halter has close connec-
lions with the leading manufacturers of
boston and New York, takes orders for any
KIND OF hat, and guarantees good fit and
first class workmanship. Parties in want of
trunk of any kind can find it at his place.
He is also agent for the patent wood trunk.
a trunk which it is impossible to break, as
Mr.. Coe can name parties who have been all
over the world with them and returned with
them in good condition. One word in regard
to the. exterior of the store. Mr.. Coe has
some very attractive and original signs.
The Ko Ko, or Mikado, is a novel feature
The sidewalk sign is for the good of the
public as it shows the weather signals every
day. Such enterprise we appreciate, and
wish Coe, the halter, an equally successful
future

ana has already posted himself in the lives
OF our great generals as well as stories of
border warfare. Monday last Johnnie was
standing on Tukey's bridge, when number
of teams belonging to an encampment of
gypsies. came along ON their way to Bruins
wick. Johnnie thought he would like ride
and also become somewhat acquainted with
this nomadic tribe. He civilly asked the
driver OF one of the teams to give him a lift
which request was as cvilly granted. When
MorrllFs Corner was reached Johnnie
Jumped from the wagon on foot and started
on foot, as he supposed, for Portland over
the railroad track. On the contrary he took
the opposite direction and at night turned
up in Freeport, entirely bewildered. At a
house in that town he told the occupants he
had been kidnapped by gypsies and escaped.
Deputy Sheriff Banks brought him to Port
land Tuesday, and when questioned by Dep
uty Sheriff Cram very closely, he admitted
